Today was like most Sundays. It started with a shower, breakfast, little computer while I ate. Then I went to work for a bit. Tonight I invited a friend over that I haven't seen in a long time. I missed his birthday in fact. I don't know if you can truly classify me as a friendly towards him 100% of the time, because sometimes I do some pretty fucked up stuff, but he really is a friend to me. For the first time I saw him not as someone who is a constant jokester, but as an articulate person, open to opening up about him self -- just a little. For the first time I turned to him to ask for advice, rather than being the advice giver. Long story short; he told me that guys like to be talked to honestly and that I'm playing games with people at work. Granted I don't mean to play games, I'm trying to skirt around the issue of having to tell someone I don't like them. Whats worse is that everyone at work knows this person likes me. So technically he is playing games. Whatever the situation, my friend offered advice and he told me that I should just go out with him if he asks and then use that time to explain myself and then that way at least I will feel more comfortable and then he will know. This is all so much drama. This is not me. All I want is simplicity. That is going to be the theme. I'm going to take my friend's advice and be open/honest/no games -- simple.
